Creatine is a natural compound made in the body and is derived from the diet through meat products. Creatine supplementation combined with strength training has been shown to cause dramatic improvements in muscle hypertrophy (size) and strength through cell volumization and increased protein synthesis. Cell volumization is an increase in muscle volume (size) caused when water follows creatine into our muscles. Cell volumization can increase strength by increasing the amount of force a muscle can contract with. Creatine monohydrate has proven effective in increasing muscle mass, strength and all around athletic performance.*
